As if anyone who has been paying attention to the image generation would be surprised.

2 years ago: "AI will never replace artists"

2 months ago: "Yeah these results are amazing but the hands are bad and the textures look Photoshopped. Creative jobs are safe"

Now: "Sure, it can make photorealistic images of anything you could imagine, but there's no way it would make VIDEO" /s

A few years back I came across a YT channel of some deeply religious guy zooming in on jpeg artifacts, adjusting levels in photoshop and claiming they were evidence of moon bases. I tried searching but it looks like youtube has successfully buried that kind of content in the main search. I can guarantee, if I could find them, there are people claiming generative AIs are evidence for demons when they zoom in all the way and squint hard enough.

process of building a dyson swarm only works because it's also a recursive feedback loop.

even if you are only interested in existential risk mitigation or not burning earth up with ever increasing computational waste heat, the time cost difference between a recursive process like dyson swarm planet disassembly vs non recursive process like mars terraforming is so large the recursive process is the clear choice

more energy = more compute = better reasoning, including ethical reasoning, ability to seed the entire universe with von neumann probes, better simulations and modeling, etc.
